OK, I have ADD and the thought of using Twitter or Tweeting as it is referred to baffles me. Some of the many challenges ADD poses to people include procrastination, lack of focus/attention, organization, fidgeting, easily distracted and patience.
With Twitter being a free social networking service that enables people to send and read each others updates up to 140 characters…..it seems to me that Twitter provides an ideal environment for many people with ADD to be distracted and lose focus on what they should be focusing on. The addictive traits of many people with ADD could become a problem on this site. For me, I just see it as a dangerous place to waste a lot of my time and lose myself. That’s just me. If it works for you, well done!
While Twitter has become one the most popular web sites in the world, this ADD’er won’t be Tweeting any time soon.
I started a Twitter account in order to enter a contents a little while ago, and quickly found that it didn’t work for me at all — but mostly because using it requires me to completely disrupt the routines that help me control my ADD symptoms. I would go insane trying to use it regularly!
You know, I never really thought about Twitter being just another distraction for those of us with Adult ADD. I think I can continue using Twitter, I just need to get amped up on my time management skills. Good Read Though!
I truly enjoyed this. It is very educational and useful. I will return to check on upcoming posts
